Dallas H The tap dancer is falsely accused of murder after chucking his shoes out the window and right into a crime scene. He states to the police he hasn't killed anyone since Newark. An entertainer's turn of phrase, of course. But he could have implied he was all tapped out on being guilty of the crime. I liked this movie. It isn't a deep dive into film noir, but still an entertaining pulp fiction story. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review ashley h I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes is a decent film. It is about a dancer who is pinned for murder after his shoe prints are found at the scene of the crime. Don Castle and Elyse Knox give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. William Nigh did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and mystery. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Typical for a Woolrich adaptation, you have to buy into the central conceit to enjoy the resulting nightmare scenario here. In this instance, it is that a shoe print is the most damningly absolute form of evidence. The circumstances are pretty amusing, with a dancer protagonist couple and methodical police whose dialogue anticipates their incriminating behavior. The direction is tight, not lingering too long on investigatory and court drama elements. Instead, devices of candy hearts, a Death Row phonograph, and persistent shoe emphasis are used to engage and heighten the pace. But the ending still felt forced and programmatic, though not unusually so. Still, this has a solid script and good central cast, managing to pull off some fun melodrama with an ironic twist.
